Wedding: 11/11/11
We got married on Nov 11 2011. Choosing Dyker Beach Golf Course as our wedding venue/caterer was one of the best decisions we ever made. The planning process from the beginning to the end was very pleasant with the Dyker staff. The results were breathtaking. It exceeded our expectations. They added a couple of touches on the day of the wedding, which was great and didn't go unnoticed. They were so organized and made our day flow so smoothly. The food and catering was top notch. They were always asking if we needed anything, including our guests. Whatever you asked, they did without a problem. Very professional and they always work with you when it comes to requests. Everyone, including the guests, were amazed on the beautiful venue and the excellent service. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding thanks to Dyker!-Thanks again from Shane & Joannie Perry

WOW! We just had our wedding at Dyker Beach and everything was absolutely perfect! The staff, from the wedding planner to the maitre de to the bridal attendant to the waitstaff and everyone in between was so helpful and professional. The food was fantastic, we had many people tell us it was the best cocktail hour spread they have ever seen, and the main courses were amazing. The place is gorgeous and they made our night absolutely wonderful. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for everything!!!

Dyker Beach Golf Course was amazing! Jeanine, who helped coordinate our wedding, was fantastic to work with throughout the planning. The ballroom was gorgeous for the reception - it was so much better than one of those "manufactured" wedding halls. All of our guests raved about the food and how delicious it was. The staff was completely outstanding and professional. We were so happy with Dyker Beach Golf Course, and I highly recommend them to other brides.

This was a wonderful venue for us to have our reception. The grounds are beautiful and we really had a great setting for our photos. The cocktail hour was wonderful--we still have friends and family telling us it was the best cocktail hour they've ever attended. The valet parking was a major plus. Location is perfect for those driving from New Jersey and easy to get to from all parts of NYC. All the staff were super attentive and friendly. We had left a wedding gift and the next day my husband went back to pick it up and he was greeted with a hug! Everyone was so gracious and made sure that our event went smoothly. They made sure we were comfortable in our suite and incredibly friendly--again someone told me it was the nicest service at a wedding they had experienced.We looked at 3 or 4 venues around NYC but really wanted a Brooklyn wedding and reception. The space, the cost, the staff , the food and drink top notch and the setting made for a terrific event. Be prepared...it goes fast!!!!

I had my ceremony and reception at Dyker. It was fabulous. The sales staff was great. Jeanine, we love you. You made everything so worry free. You are such an asset to DBGC. All of the planning and preperations went so smoothly. It was a complete pleasure working with the staff. Jeanine always answered my crazy questions anytime day or night. The event was beautiful. Everything was perfect. My bridal attendant made sure all my girls had a vodka tonic in hand throughout all of it. We had our pictures done inside because it rained that day and they are beautiful. The service at the event was top notch as was the food and everything else. My guests has no worries with parking. The valet service was a huge plus, especially in Bay Ridge. If you are considering having your venue here please take the time to see it in person. You will not be disappointed. Cocktail hour was amazing as was dinner. We hired a band for cocktail hour and the staff was so curteous and helpful with them as well as all of our vendors. If you would like to email me I'd be happy to answer any questions and share my experience with you. Schurak@gmail.com. A big thanks to everyone at Dyker for making our wedding day better than we could have ever hopes. A beautiful venue and a great staff. Many thanks! Sam and Miguel

This place was absolutely fantastic! The space was remarkable, everything was beautiful, and worked perfectly. The staff was unbelievable in making sure we had everything we wanted. They worked well with our vendors and made sure everything was ready on time and ran smoothly. We also had our ceremony there and it was absolutely beautiful! The gazebo with the golf course backdrop was more than we could have asked for! Overall, an amazing experience!

All I can say is they made my dreams come true! They were so amazing on my wedding day (May 15, 2010), that I had nothing to worry about. They all did the thinking for me. It was the best day of my life. They were with me every step of the way, from booking a year in advance, to talking me down when I would freak out about choices. I felt so comfortable with the entire staff. My guests absolutely loved the day and were totally impressed that such a place even existed in Brooklyn.

My husband and I were married at the Dyker Beach Golf Course on October 22, 2011. I consider myself a critic and a perfectionist, but I can honestly say from start to finish our wedding day was perfect! We were married outside at the Gazebo and it was beautiful. We were very lucky to have a sunny day. The outside area is beautiful and overlooks the golf course. That is where we decided to take our pictures -- right on the golf course. I haven't seen the proofs yet, but I know they will be beautiful.The food, which is probably the # 1 thing people care about, is fantastic. From the cocktail hour to the Venetian Hour, everything was outstanding. Our guests have not stopped raving about how great the food was. We had gone for a tasting and was blown away. We were surprised that the food was as good as during the tasting. The staff at Dyker is exceptional. Robert, the Director of Food and Beverage Operations, was so welcoming and genuinely made us feel as though everything was under control. Vicky was our main point of contact during the months of planning and she was terrific. I hope Dyker appreciates how thorough and professional Vicky is -- she was a delight to work with, especially in the stressful days leading up to it. During our wedding day, Dyker provides a day of wedding coordinator. Our wedding coordinator was Eman. She was so helpful and kept the party moving on time. It was a real perk having her there.I really have nothing to say bad about the venue. Our day was perfect and it was everything I dreamed my wedding day would be!Thank you for everything!Gina & Michael

Our wedding at Dyker Beach Golf Course was AMAZING! The ball room, cocktail room, and terrace were beautiful. The service was impeccable. All the servers were friendly, courteous, and efficient to everyone. My bridal attendant was wonderful. She was never in the way but always there if I needed a hand. The bartenders were great. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests have been raving about the food and service to this day! Everything ran smoothly. My husband and I are SO pleased with our wedding reception and how everything turned out.

The Dyker Beach Golf Course is a beautiful, elegant location for a wedding. We were fortunate enough to have a lovely summer day and our ceremony in the newly landscaped garden in front of the gazebo. Our cocktail hour utilized the open terrace as well as the inside room. Everything was picture perfect. Everyone we worked with, both leading up to and on the day of the wedding, was friendly, professional, efficient and agreeable. We got more than we expected for the price and were thrilled to have so much included in the package - food, beverages, cake, etc. So little to worry about ourselves and everything was great. Our guests enjoyed the food (especially the tartuffo dessert, which unfortunately my husband & I were too busy dancing to eat) and the service.

I just had my ceremony and reception at Dyker Heights in Brooklyn. Everything was PERFECT! They were so easy to deal with and were responsive whenever we had questions. All of our guests talked about the food and how beautiful everything was. I couldn't have asked for anything better! If you are looking for 5 star service, this is definitely the place!

Wedding: 5/21/10
The food was amazing and the staff was so professional. They were able to give us everything we asked for (extra treats for dessert and cocktail hour!). My only complaints: the gazebo is in a horrible location, so close to the street, making it a noisy spot for a ceremony - with all the cars going by. I suggest the patio for the ceremony instead. They put the string quartet in this little room off the main cocktail hour room, so no one even saw or heard them during cocktail hour and didn't even know they were there! Other than that everything went well and it was a beautiful spot for a local Brooklyn wedding.

As soon as we saw the space, we knew immediately we wanted it there. The venue has a beautiful brick façade and is situated on a golf course (my husband received a free golf voucher for him and 3 of his friends when we booked!). Although the name states it, Dyker is not on or near a beach but the space is beautiful nonetheless. Staff: The entire staff who worked the night of our wedding was just absolutely amazing! Our Maitre’d, Banquet Staff, Bridal Attendant, and Waitstaff were just INCREDIBLE!! I can’t emphasize it enough how wonderful they were in giving us the utmost best service. Upon our arrival, we were immediately greeted by Leslie, our bridal attendant, and Chris, a banquet staff member. Both welcomed us with a glass of champagne in hand. Throughout the night both were continuously checking on us to make sure we were happy and if we needed anything else, while Leslie didn’t leave me drink-less for a minute! I wish I could say the same about the event manager who I worked with leading up to the wedding. She was a bit unresponsive and didn't tell me certain details that I needed for the reception. Regardless, the banquet staff on the wedding night was so amazing that they helped make the event go on without a hitch!Food: The appetizers, food stations, and hors d’ouevres were all very good. We didn’t get to try everything but the lamb chops were to die for. The halibut was a big hit while the filet mignon we were told was a bit too well done. We also had the Maryland Crabcake as a first course, which was delicious. Overall our guests raved about how amazing the food was. Space: Cocktail hour opens up to an outdoor space that overlooks the golf course and is nicely dressed with upscale patio furniture (not plastic). The main reception room was an addition to the building, which was built in the late 1800’s, but you could never tell. It looks as though it has been part of the building forever and is just stunning. There’s floor-to-ceiling windows and black chandeliers that give the room a classy and elegant look. The area designated for the band/DJ has a beautiful brick backdrop, which looks great during the reception. Great venue in Brooklyn, I definitely would recommend them!

Event Planning: The Dyker Beach Golf venue is a very nice facility for a wedding. The wedding ceremony and reception were held on July 16, 2011 in the lawn and on the patio outdoors, which was wonderful. What a wonderful choice. We had a beautiful day! I wish I could say the same about the event manager who my daughter and I worked with leading up to the wedding. She was a bit unresponsive at times and didn't tell me certain details that I needed for the dinner. I felt that Jeannine over sold the services at the place in order to book my daughter's wedding. We would have ordered covers for the chairs if the new replacement chairs had delivered like she promised us when we visited. Also, she made me believe that all staff was knowledgeable about their role and responsibilities they should perform, which was not the case. My daughter found the Bridal Attendant to be new at her job and lacked the knowledge of her role. My daughter had to ask at times for her to refresh the appetizers in the room and clean up the dishes. Upon our arrival, a banquet staff member did welcome them with a room filled with glasses of champagne.Jeannine also did not communicate commitments made in the contract and the size of our wedding party (200 guests) to the Maitre'd which caused problems later in the day. They were flexible in working with our florist, who was outstanding, by giving our florist napkins ahead of time for decorating. Our florist made our tables look so elegant. Dyker received compliments for their napkin and floral design on the tables.Staff: The entire staff who worked the night of our wedding appeared to be novice. The staff who set up a table for the guests to write on stones left the bags and boxes in front of the table for guests to see when they arrived. I had my son remove them. Boxes of my decorated fans that I made for the outdoors ceremony were left out by the gazebo for arriving guests to see. My girlfriend who was seated as a guest texted me to tell me to have them removed. The lack of communication between what we told Jeannine and what was conveyed to the Maitre'd showed when she decided to only set up chairs for about 170 guest and not my requested 200. Because of this, guests were standing and we had to request additional chairs before the ceremony began. By the way, those chairs did not have a program or a customized gift fan from the Bride and Groom placed on them and the chairs did not match the white lawn chairs that others had!!!! Aaugh! When the ceremony was about to begin I was informed by my officiant, my Pastor, Bishop Hilliard, Jr., that the bridal runner was down and guest had walked on it. This was the final straw! I stopped the wedding and insisted that a clean, untouched runner be laid down for the bride to walk on for her processional in. Our Maitre’d explained to me that there would a delay and to tell me that others did it this way. What? This is not bridal ceremony etiquette! Needless to say, the wedding processional was delayed until the runner was taken up, all guests were seated, and the bridal party except for the flower girl and my husband and daughter, the Bride, walked in. Afterwards, the Maitre'd, Banquet Staff, and Waiter staff was very attentive! I can’t emphasize it enough how wonderful they were in giving us the utmost best service. Throughout the night both were continuously checking on my husband and I to make sure we were happy and if we needed anything else. Regardless, the banquet staff on the wedding night was so amazing that they helped make the event go on afterwards without a hitch!Food: The appetizers, food stations, and hors d’ouevres were all very good. We didn’t get to try everything but the beef tips on toast were to die for. The filet mignon for dinner was very well done to each guest’s wish. The best of the dinner was the salad with Champagne Vinaigrette dressing. We also had the Maryland Crab cake as a first course, which was delicious. All our guests raved about how amazing the food was. Space: Cocktail hour reception was held on the patio, which was fabulous! It overlooks the golf course and is nicely furnished with upscale patio furniture and umbrellas. There was also a main indoor reception area with comfortable chairs and sofas for those guests who were elderly or could not take the sun.The main dining reception room was an addition to the building, which was built in the late 1800’s, which is what my daughter loved about the facility. It looks as though it has been part of the building forever and was just stunning. There are floor-to-ceiling windows and black chandeliers gave the room a classy and elegant look. The area designated for the band or DJ has a beautiful brick backdrop, which looks great during the reception. Great location venue in Brooklyn, food is delicious, but the wedding planner and facilities staff are not quite ready for prime time when accommodating large wedding receptions. I would not recommend them!
